In the starting lineup was:
- Jacob Faria on a rehab assignment as starting pitcher
- Christian Arroyo on a rehab assignment at 3B (he did have some time as a Bull earlier this year)
- Willy Adames back at shortstop (commentary about that event here and here)
- Johnny Field batting leadoff and playing right field.
- Pitcher Ryan Weber
- Outfielder Jeremy Hazelbaker who cleared waivers and has been outrighted.
- Pitcher Chi-Wei Hu went to the Rays and came on in relief of Blake Snell last night and did OK
- Infielder Ji-Man Choi, who DH'd for the Rays last night and was 0-fer with 2 Ks.
Also missing was broadcaster Patrick Kinas, who was "called up" doing pre- and post-game shows for the Rays.
Oh, the Bulls lost 4-2 to Charlotte. Box. Wrap.
Fortunately, I was watching on TV at home. I'm guessing that if I were at the game (unless listening on the radio) I'd have to wait for the video board to tell me who the players were because they were yet again wearing my least favorite jersey without nameplates.
Congratulations are due Kean Wong who earned IL-MVP honors at the All-Star game. About the game: The IL lost to the PCL 7-12. Wrap. Box.

I'm a little worried we're going to lose Patrick. Neil was on the TV side, so we could be witnessing the announcer callup progression again.
ReplyDeleteNo offense to Gary, but he's a much better PbP guy for basketball / football than baseball.
On the other hand, Patrick's first several games were a bit shaky ... and I was really missing Neil. This year I'm missing Scott Pose who doesn't seem to be making many games.
ReplyDeleteMy issue with Gary is that he doesn't story tell. He's just literal with what's going on. That works in a faster moving game, but in baseball it leads to uncomfortable silence. Scott's on tonight it seems htough
